  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: SECURITY MEASURES
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: SECURITY MEASURES: STORIES Susan Anspach, Master of Fine Arts, 2013 Directed By: Professor Maud Casey, Department of English Security Measures is a collection of seven short stories that investigate need, as well as the responses by characters to that need. In some instances, the response is straightforward, as in the story of a small boy at a loss for friends who summons one in the form of Transformer robot Optimus Prime. In others, the cause and effect are less tidy: A young woman reeling over the demise of her marriage endeavors to exercise control over a home that’s not hers, while a grandson whose guardian suffers a slip in mental acuity invents zombies to explain the sudden strange behavior. Whether real or hoped for, physical or abstract, how well each responsive yield comes to serve its character depends on how it’s explored in relation to other characters and infringing conditions.

  • Don't Act Your Age - Harry, Tonto, Paul, and You
    July 4, 2014 Don't Act Your Age - Harry, Tonto, Paul, and You Jeffrey Sonnenfeld, Senior Associate Dean, Lester Crown Professor of Management Practice, Yale School of Management At age 44, the maverick satirical filmmaker Paul Mazursky wrote and directed Harry & Tonto, chronicled an old man's unexpected late life struggle against society's selfish coercive pressures to relocate, institutionalize, and infantilize him back into a state of docile dependency. This week, 40 years later, Mazursky, at age 84, himself, became the ultimate victim of aging but not the victim of ageism. He beat ageism by not allowing others define him as "past his prime," "last year's model," "over-the-hill," and any of the other euphemisms aspiring middle-aged combats use to push aside those who appear to block their own career paths. Robert McFadden wrote in his New York Times obituary: Mr. Mazursky was a show-business rarity, almost never out of work in a run of six decades that began as a stage and screen actor in the early 1950s and was still adding credits at the time of his death... For all that, there was an ageless quality about him. Associates said he had boundless energy, the rapid patter of a stand-up comic and an actor's gift for memory. This was the parallel goal of Mazurky's character Harry Combs of Harry & Tonto-- the roles so poignantly played by 55-year-old Art Carney, who earned an Oscar for "Best Actor." As a retired school teacher in his 70s, widower Harry was living in a decaying building where his apartment was a museum of memories -- all artifacts of a life that had past.
